Abstract

This paper explores the impact of the COVID-pandemic on educational and financial inequality in level of weekly sport participation in the Netherlands. Restrictions due to the COVID-pandemic resulted in several barriers for people to continue sport participation. Lower educated people and individuals with financial problems are expected to have relatively few resources to adapt to the COVID restrictions, and therefore, more likely will decrease their level of weekly sport participation. Using high-quality data from the Dutch Longitudinal Internet Studies for the Social Sciences (LISS) panel, we are able to compare individual sport behaviour before and during the COVID-pandemic. Our findings suggest that the level of weekly sport participation of lower educated people and individuals with financial problems decreased more strongly during the COVID-pandemic. This implies that indeed the COVID-pandemic resulted in increasing educational and financial inequality in sport participation. With these results, our study contributes to a body of knowledge on the broader societal impact of COVID on issues of social exclusion. It may also inform policymakers to critically assess and intensify sport promotion policies directed at vulnerable groups in society.

新冠肺炎大流行是否影响荷兰每周参加体育运动的教育和财政不平等?
本文探讨了新冠肺炎大流行对荷兰每周体育参与水平的教育和财政不平等的影响。covid - 19大流行造成的限制给人们继续参加体育活动带来了一些障碍。受教育程度较低的人和有经济问题的人预计将拥有相对较少的资源来适应新冠肺炎的限制,因此,他们更有可能减少每周的体育参与水平。利用荷兰社会科学纵向互联网研究(LISS)小组的高质量数据,我们能够比较新冠肺炎大流行之前和期间的个人体育行为。我们的研究结果表明,在covid - 19大流行期间,受教育程度较低的人和有经济问题的人每周参加体育运动的水平下降得更厉害。这意味着,covid - 19大流行确实导致体育参与方面的教育和财政不平等加剧。有了这些结果,我们的研究有助于建立有关COVID对社会排斥问题的更广泛社会影响的知识体系。它还可以为决策者提供信息,以批判性地评估和加强针对社会弱势群体的体育促进政策。
